Are you trying to do what ewhois.com does with the analytics and adsense IDs?
Kind of, but in a way where you hold the database and tell it which sites to index so you are not limited to just what the online sites have pre-crawled. Robin
I was trying to script the same thing. However, parsing all of that data was a pain considering a developer can implement it several different ways. Sites like ewhois.com must have access to some sort of API for collecting that data. Let me know how it goes, because if you succeed, I'd like to bring you in on a project I am working on.

Google codes are good for this as they identify the tracker not the site, Woopra tracking identifies the domain not the tracker so there is no way back to the person/group tracking the site. What other web tracking systems are out there which can be used to identify the tracker rather than the site? In case that doesn't make sense, this is Woopra code: function woopraReady(tracker){ tracker.setDomain('yourdomain.com'); tracker.setIdleTimeout(300000); tracker.track(); } which identifies "yourdomain.com" but this is google try { var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-7503551-1"); pageTracker._trackPageview(); } catch(err) {} which identifies the tracker.
